7.6 Single-Phase Induction Motor
WARNING
When replacing the Motor, refer to the code shown in the list of spare parts relating to the Appliance.
7.6.1 General Characteristics
A single-phase AC current is supplied to the main winding that produces a pulsating magnetic field. The
pulsating field could be divided into two fields, which are rotating in opposite directions. The interaction
between the fields and the current induced in the rotor bars generates opposing torque.
The Motor Assembly is used to drive the Dryer Drum as well as Blower. Motor is activated from Electronic
Control Board through the Door Switch.
The Motor is equipped with Overload Thermal Protection Tripper. This ensures that the Motor is switched OFF if
any thermal overload occurs.
